Corellians represented a group of people of human descent, with their homeworld being the planet of Corellia. A prominent Corellian, Han Solo, who captained the renowned Millennium Falcon, played a role in the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War.
The Corellian people were humans who hailed from the planet Corellia, a Core World characterized by a temperate climate and a mix of forests, jungles, and developed industrial cities. Both the planet and its inhabitants gained recognition for their expertise in shipbuilding. The Corellian Engineering Corporation was responsible for producing a wide array of starships, including freighters like the YT-1300 and cruisers such as the Consular-class, which were used by the Galactic Republic. Furthermore, numerous Corellians earned fame as some of the galaxy's most skilled pilots, with figures like Han Solo and Wedge Antilles among Corellia's most celebrated individuals.
The Corellian people achieved widespread recognition across the galaxy due to their strong inclination for exploration and travel. However, Corellia's significance in the broader galaxy diminished over time as newer planets rose to prominence. During the High Republic Era, a growing number of Corellians began to express isolationist sentiments, which were later satirized in the song Corellia for Corellians. Chips Fendirfal, a Corellian Minister, once humorously described a bar fight as a "very Corellian welcome" to their home planet.
